Why Jews and Christians Need a New Doctrine of Creation"

In-Person: Heights Room, Corcoran Commons; Virtual: Zoom Webinar
Jews and Christians are joined by a shared recognition that we are created by the same God. Yet that recognition has never been allowed to shape our moral and social imaginations. What should this shared recognition create in our racially divided, war-torn, capitalist driven world? This lecture considers how we move from a shared recognition to a shared life.
